Questions about ovulation

I'd like a little advice please. I'm concerned that I'm not ovulating because my BBT doesn't spike very much.
Here's the back story. I'm 38 ant TTC my first child. I've been charting my cycle for at least 24 months. I'm very regular with an average of 25 to 26 day cycle.
I used to check my BBT daily but stopped after my home was broken into and burglarized and my iPad was stollen. The break in put my TTC efforts back 12 months while I took care of repairs, etc.
I've been checking LH surge and BBT for the last two cycles. Roughly 24 to 32 hours after my LH surge I have mild cramping, a night where I sleep really warm (I usually sleep with several blankets and once per month I sleep with a sheet or one light blanket), ECM, and a desire for a cuddle or two or four. No breast tenderness. I don't peek at my cervix because frankly I'm too fabulously fluffy.
The following moring my temp will be slightly higher. Generally it's 96.something and on that morning it's a low 97.15. So am I ovulating?
I'm seeing my PCP on the 16th for a preconception exam/ annual. Are there any questions I should ask him or tests I should request? If it were you and your PCP offered you Clomid or another ovulation medication to start out TTC with, would you tahe him up on it? Why or why not?

I'm sure about the opk+. Those smiles are crystal clear.
If you have the time you can have your CD21 lab work done to check and make sure your ovulating. And your numbers are where their suppose to be.
My RE said not to rely on BBTs as they are not truly accurate. Based on weather, temp in your house, thermometer in the same spot every single time, etc. Temping can be stressful as well.
Good luck and hope everything works out for you!!!!!
